I dont know, man. That Toyota has been vicious on the track. They won at Silverstone AND Spa. Audi "podiumed" but wasn't able to take the checkered flag. In fact Porsche was 4th.

I think (and I like this) it's really a toss-up between the R 18 e-tron, TS 040, and the 919 Hybrid

Yup, it's gonna be an interesting race.

954Stealth · 05-30-2014, 11:26 AM

Yes, it will!

Can't wait for this race!

I've always wondered why BMW to enter its cars into the GT Category?

It should be broadcast live on Fox Sports between 06/14 and 06/15.
Le Mans also has an app in the app store that will stream the entire race live.
You will also find live coverage at sites such as en.lemanslive.com or lemans-tv.com or 24h-lemans.com (the 24's official stream)

Awesome, thanks for this. I only get Fox Sports 1, plus I need to save DVR storage for world cup, will probably look into the stream app.

HUH? What's this??

954Stealth · 06-09-2014, 03:59 PM

Breaking!

Montezemolo might announce a Ferrari entry in this year's 24 or for 2015 by this coming Saturday.
I'd love to see a 2014 Ferrari LMP, who else here would?

954Stealth · 06-10-2014, 07:39 AM

Aston Martin Racing is all ready for the weekend

jonasaurus · 06-10-2014, 08:04 AM

I'm really hoping this is true. Could Ferrari's Fernando Alsonso be the one to break the news since he'll be dropping the flag?

Here's a taste of one of Maranello's offerings.
